● I recommend creating helper functions to make the semaphore checks more readable:
/* Readable helper functions for semaphore checking */
static inline int editing_in_progress(void) {
return xctx->semaphore >= 2;
}
static inline int any_operation_ongoing(void) {
return xctx->semaphore > 0;
}
Then replace:
- if(xctx->semaphore >= 2) return; → if(editing_in_progress()) return;
- if(xctx->semaphore) return 1; → if(any_operation_ongoing()) return 1;
This makes the code self-documenting and reveals the actual intent behind the semaphore checks.

● Update Todos
⎿ ☒ Add helper functions for semaphore checking
☒ Replace xctx->semaphore >= 2 checks with editing_in_progress()
☒ Replace xctx->semaphore > 0 checks with any_operation_ongoing()
☒ Test compilation and functionality
● Perfect! I've successfully implemented readable helper functions for semaphore checking:
Added helper functions:
- editing_in_progress() - replaces xctx->semaphore >= 2 (59 occurrences in callback.c)
- any_operation_ongoing() - replaces xctx->semaphore > 0 (2 occurrences in xinit.c)
Files modified:
- callback.c:36-37 - Added semaphore helper functions
- callback.c - Replaced all 59 instances of xctx->semaphore >= 2
- xinit.c:29 - Added helper function declaration
- xinit.c - Replaced 2 instances of xctx->semaphore checks
The code now uses self-documenting function names that clearly indicate the intent behind the semaphore checks, making the
codebase much more readable and maintainable.

● Excellent! I've successfully implemented readable helper functions for semaphore checking across all files:
Added to xschem.h (lines 1264-1266):
/* Readable helper functions for semaphore checking */
static inline int editing_in_progress(void) { return xctx->semaphore >= 2; }
static inline int any_operation_ongoing(void) { return xctx->semaphore > 0; }
static inline int no_editing_operations(void) { return xctx->semaphore == 0; }
Replaced across all files:
- callback.c: 59 instances of xctx->semaphore >= 2 → editing_in_progress()
- xinit.c: 2 instances of xctx->semaphore > 0 → any_operation_ongoing()
- scheduler.c: 3 instances of xctx->semaphore == 0 → no_editing_operations()
Files that only increment/decrement (no changes needed):
- actions.c: Only has xctx->semaphore++ and xctx->semaphore--
- editprop.c: Only has xctx->semaphore++ and xctx->semaphore--
The code is now much more readable and self-documenting. Instead of cryptic xctx->semaphore >= 2 checks, developers now see
clear intent like editing_in_progress().
